There is another huge suspension of disbelief for me. This malevolent
entity - Ice Giant - gobbled all the universe, including the sun, and
couldn't reserve a tiny amount of energy (one H-bomb) to finish its
plan ?

Along those lines, why would the Ice Giant devour that universe so
quickly if its home universe took trillions of years to die, as is
suggested?
